Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane has explained that the Spurs players knew they had to 'deliver' against Arsenal after hearing the atmosphere created by the home crowd on Thursday night.
Victory for Arsenal would've meant that the Gunners secured Champions League qualification at Tottenham's ground. Thus, it was a must-win game for Spurs, but the Lilywhites delivered under the highest pressure. Two first-half goals for England's captain meant that Antonio Conte's side went into the half-time break in cruise control. They were helped by the fact that Gunners centre-back Rob Holding was sent off in the 33rd minute for a second yellow card offence.
Son Heung-min wrapped things up almost immediately after the restart as Spurs eased to three points. Victory means that they now trail their arch-rivals by just one point with two games to go in the race for the top four. However, as Tottenham's remaining games against Burnley (Home) and already relegated Norwich (Away) are that little bit easier than Arsenal's - who have to travel to Newcastle on Monday night before hosting relegation battling Everton on the final day - there's a real belief amongst fans that they can sneak a Champions League space.
